Early Literacy Ideas

ALPHABET CHART

I created this alphabet chart by putting together an eclectic collection of letters - different fonts, sizes, colours and various materials. Some of the letters are perspex 3D shapes that I picked up at a recycling supplier along with the cardboard. We have this hanging in the writing area in our classroom but would also be great in a child's playroom or bedroom.

ALPHABET TREE

The alphabet tree is also in our writing area. I attached fairy lights to create a magical feeling and placed the letters of the alphabet around the tree. The children try to spot all the letters of the alphabet and the letters of their name.

IDENTIFYING LETTERS

Identifying and decorating the first letter of their name using pompoms and pegs.

We wrote the rest of their name and attached to their initial and displayed in the classroom.

SHOE BOX ALPHABET PEOPLE

I painted peg people and put a letter of the alphabet on them. I then stuck foam letters around the base of a shoe box and let the children match and identify the letter of the alphabet.

Hi! Thanks for visiting my blog!

An Idea on Tuesday was born as I am an Early Childhood Teacher and my working week starts on Tuesday.

I am passionate about teaching and don't like repeating activities so I am constantly looking for new ideas which I often try out first with my three beautiful children. All of these ideas can be adapted for various ages and for use in the classroom or at home.

In my spare time I love decorating my home and entertaining. I would love to share some of these ideas with you as well.
